Hi All,

Been on this forum before.My son is nów in his 40’s. 42 to be exact. He has complex history of drug misuse, mental health, physical health difficutlties and learning difficulties.

His biggest difficulties is drugs. DHCodiene and valium. He has been clean for most part since 2019 but has dabbled and stopped dabbled and stopped.

He completely relapsed in March 2022 for 12 weeks and stopped again. But sadly drugs are now creeping back into daily life.

He refuses to go to meetings and in my view is terrified to go to the Recovery Cafe.

He only has ME…his mum. I am getting tired really tired of it to be honest. He just gets stuck in a rut. Buys drugs and sits out of face in his rooms. No friends, No gf.

I know its up to him, but I really hate the way he looks and talks when he is on drugs…I hate the neighbours seeing him now.

I was so angry tonight that I had to get away from him. (He lives with me and has a legal right to live here.

Its hard to affect change……I am starting to give up on him. Never thought I ever say that but its been a shit day.

Q-Can someone go to a Recovery Cafe if/when their drugs use is going in the wrong direction again. Or do they need to be clean?

Can some please enlighting me as what’s so difficult to mix with others in recovery/like minded people?

Can someone relate to my rather” down in the dumps” post tonight pls

Hello Guys

Just to say that I am still thinking about you all. My son is doing alright no new drug buys yet. Might be as he has no money though.

We have and lots of hassle with his care team though so needing drop of the this radar to concentrate on their usual “ making a drama out of a crisis” saga when they muck up. If you get my meaning.

I do hope my supporters have been doing well. You’s are always in my thoughts. And I’m here for you.

PS I have more candles in my home than a witches coven love and light to all ????????????????

Thank you The Icarus Trust

Thanks Dot I will check out that book. Appreciate the tip

Thanks for your response. I think he is still under the affects of what he took yesterday to be honest. Since the 20/01 he has said very little. Doesn’t want to go anywhere. No driving lessons etc. He is a empty shell of himself.

He is used to me binning his stash.

I’m not excusing anyone but I think lockdown has a lot to do with everyone’s bad habits

It’s the lies and manipulation I can’t be bothered with. He came back and swore he hadn’t bought drugs and he wasn’t even tempted. He has even denied that there where empty packets in his bed where I had put them. Oh! No he says. Don’t know what your talking about mum!,

I’m sitting reading Beyond addiction again.

Howes you. 5 weeks now. I think when we first reached out it was 2 weeks for you. Then 4 weeks…. You keep your chin up. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Slow and steady win the race.

Thanks for reaching out ????

Well my son has been at it again. He is out for the count tonight. Search around and found 100 DHCodeine and 50 blue Valium.

He says no not going buy drugs…..

Will he ever change?

Sometimes I despair. Anyone he has lost the lot caused I have flushed them all away.

He is completely and blissfully unaware his stash has gone.

I will struggle to look at him I am annoyed at all his manipulation.

What do you do ?

[cathsp]

Thanks I think law of attraction could help us all ????

Hi Danman 83

Have you ever thought about writing these thoughts down and when your feeling strong read them. And then you can deal with them and/or realise how far you’ve come.

Hang in there, remember don’t be too hard on yourself!

A vision board could work for you too.

Do it for YOU. Dream BIG.

You are sssssoooo worth it. Take a day at a time.
